Tube luminometers are instruments used to measure the luminescence, or light emitted without heat, from a selected sample. Tube luminometers are used in life sciences to run gene, enzyme, and intracellular calcium assays and ATP measurements. The tube luminometer can be portable or non-portable, may have fluorescence detectors that allow for additional testing, and be capable of using liquid and/or solid samples. Different tube luminometers have different ranges, so some may need samples to be diluted while others will not.
Key considerations for purchasing a tube luminometer
When a tube luminometer is chosen, there are several characteristics to look for, including how much data is stored and for how long, if there is a minimum sample size, and how many samples tubes it can accommodate at once.

| Description | Sirius 2 LB 9526 is a compact and highly sensitive tube luminometer. Light collection is maximized through both the close proximity of the sample to the detector and the use of optimized light reflectors surrounding the sample vial. The luminometer is upgradeable with up to two injectors, making it Sirius 2 LB 9526 is a compact and highly sensitive tube luminometer. Light collection is maximized through both the close proximity of the sample to the detector and the use of optimized light reflectors surrounding the sample vial. The luminometer is upgradeable with up to two injectors, making it perfect for flash assays, and can be equipped with an intuitive touch screen computer, enabling stand-alone operation.
The system is the perfect choice for all luminescent flash and glow applications performed in single sample format, for example reporter gene assays, dual-reporter assays, ATP assays, cell proliferation, cytotoxicity and biomass assays, or environmental toxicity and mutagenicity assays....
